We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Forbes Creek trails yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Forbes Creek trails
The trails here offer easy day hiking without a lot of people. You can park at the bottom of the staircase, at Crestwood Park, or there is an unofficial parking at the northwest entrance.
Great trails, easy walking or running or biking. Trying the stairs is a great workout. Enjoy
